Spacing out the injections a few more days is a good idea . It helps keep the medication levels more stable.

Congrats!! 👏🏼

Your dose is too high. Halve the lowest dose you tried, either by injecting less or spacing out injections more.

Also, you might want to get your testosterone, free testosterone, SHBG, and estradiol checked. There's some evidence that GLP-1s can affect those too. It's good to have a baseline before starting GLOW. I saw a good article on this: another forum

Worth checking blood pressure too. GLP-1s can sometimes cause a drop, which can be significant for some people. I've seen it happen, especially in those with pre-existing hypertension. Weight loss and improved glucose control can definitely impact BP.

FYI for all my Canadian friends: apparently the Ozempic patent is expiring in Canada in 2026. Could see generics as soon as next year. https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/novo-nordisk-s-canadian-mistake

I find it's the non-scale victories that keep me motivated. I was at the beach last weekend and was actually able to get up easily from a low beach chair!! I haven't been able to do that in years!

To answer a few questions - I had about 130lbs to drop originally to be in a healthy BMI. Now I've lost 105 or so, and only NOW my face is starting to show definition. So many others lose face fat so much quicker. My face was hanging on for dear life lol.

It's likely due to the weight loss associated with GLP-1s, not necessarily the drug itself, that lowers blood pressure. I've seen many patients reduce or even eliminate their BP meds after losing weight.

I do adore your lips! Me, I have a almost no upper lip, and now I'm 59, wrinkles are showing up above it.😔

Fabulous!

For those experiencing slow progress on GLP-1 medications, don't lose hope. It's not uncommon to have a slower start. Adjusting the dosage, modifying your diet, and incorporating regular exercise can all make a significant difference. Sometimes it's a matter of finding the right combination that...

I hit onederland a few months ago. Best. Feeling. Ever.

I want to remind everyone that GLP-1 medications are not a magic bullet. They are a tool that must be used in conjunction with diet and exercise for optimal results. It's important to continue making healthy choices even while taking these medications.

What a Success Story! You deserve a huge round of applause for your dedication and effort. You look amazing, and you've utilized the tools available very well!

I'm so thrilled, y'all! It took shedding almost 90 pounds with some assistance from MJ, but I can finally see my jawline!

I'm so happy for you!

So happy for you! Such an awesome feeling!

As a clinician, I just want to emphasize something the OP said: I cannot tell you how many patients come in wanting NAD+ or SS-31 for fatigue and their ferritin is 18, TSH is 4.8, and they sleep 5 hours a night. Peptides may have a role, but they are adjunctive. Foundational physiology still...

Congratulations, I hope you feel better and live your best life.
